The City
Today we will be celebrating Palm Sunday, and looking into the Luke 19 story of Jesus’s arrival into Jerusalem, and how Jesus’s reaction to the city should affect us.
Luke 19: 35-41 NLT
35 So they brought the colt to Jesus and threw their garments over it for him to ride on.
36 As he rode along, the crowds spread out their garments on the road ahead of him.
37 When he reached the place where the road started down the Mount of Olives, all of his followers began to shout and sing as they walked along, praising God for all the wonderful miracles they had seen.
38 “Blessings on the King who comes in the name of the LORD! Peace in heaven, and glory in highest heaven!”
39 But some of the Pharisees among the crowd said, “Teacher, rebuke your followers for saying things like that!”
40 He replied, “If they kept quiet, the stones along the road would burst into cheers!”
41 But as he came closer to Jerusalem and saw the city ahead, he began to weep.
- We are Not Here by Accident
Psalm 126:5-6 NLT
5 Those who plant in tears will harvest with shouts of joy.6 They weep as they go to plant their seed, but they sing as they return with the harvest. - You and I have a Responsibility to a City that God has Called Us to
